Might work Jon. I'll have a look at the hole spacing.

I had a spare bit of time today, so set the mill up to make a front lift plate out of a later rear one (I think).

Another bit on its way

[diffwhine]

That's great Jon. Looking really good. Thanks so much!

[JonB]

Diffwhine,

I finished the lifting eye today, so all the parts are here for whenever you can get them.

If anyone in the southwest is passing Frome and heading Diffwhines way, let us know.

Thanks all

[diffwhine]

Thanks Jon,
I'll be in touch. I'm in London most of this week, so it will be next week I reckon.

We need a water pump... I thought somebody had one, but it's not what we thought it was.

Part number is 501041 for the Series 2 2.25 and 2.0 diesel water pump. Suppliers are showing it as on exchange only.

We need one - doesn't matter if it leaks, but it needs to be able to rotate and have an intact impeller.

Can anybody help?

[RATA1]

Could you not craft a 9 hole pump on there by cutting away the missing stud/hole as they are pretty hard to come by and a shame to cut up one that is serviceable (and expensive).

[diffwhine]

Unfortunately not. The top of the impeller sits too high, so even that would foul on the thermostat housing. I have a 9 hole pump here and its not going to work.

[diffwhine]

While I think about it, does anybody have a nice tappet gap plate they would be prepared to donate for the rocker cover?

[109+1]

Have got this one if off use. Think it might be to far gone though.

[Old Hywel]

This?

Series 3 mind you.

[Peter Holden]

Do we have them in the shop?

Peter

[diffwhine]

109+1, thanks but it may be a bit too far gone for a display engine.

Old Hywel, that one looks like it might clean up ok - is it intact at the corners? I'm after the 4 screws as well if possible. 

Shop - not sure - I'll have a look and ask Andrew.

[Old Hywel]

Risked life and limb to take another peep. Yes, looks sound.
I'll need to find the right screwdriver to avoid marmalising the screw heads.

[diffwhine]

Fantastic. I'll drop you a PM.
